    Boente says alot of things. Haye getting a shot if he beats Chisora among them. He's mostly bs.

    And Frank will be able to 'deliver' ? He can't even pay his own fighters

    Utterly absurd notion.

    Cant see Wlad coming here to fight Fury on Boxnation! lmao!

    I like Fury and if he does get his shot then fair enough, wlad would certainly show him how to jab properly.

    For starters, Frank does pay his fighter. A few late payments does not equate to never paying anyone. Besides, Frank is more than likely to pay the big name opponent before anyone.

    However let's keep to the topic of Wlad/Fury:

    You use the revenue from the promotion to pay the bills. A £10 million purse split 80/20 is very realistic. It would be a joint promotion with K2.

    Well the fights on BoxNation regardless of location.

    So I don't see what's funny.

    The Genius, I'll have a £100 bet with you that it doesn't happen on British soil. You game?

    Wlad will only fight in the UK if he can earn significantly more than he would otherwise have earned in Germany. How that would be possible without FrankW bankrupting himself I don't exactly know.

    I don't think the public will give Fury (those who even know him) much of a chance to beat Wlad anyway so the hype won't be there as much. Fury isn't well liked either.

    It just doesn't make sense.

    Yeah, because they demand it upfront as they know how much of a snake the bloke is.

    Just sounds funny! It could happen though as Wlad would probably see it as quite an easy fight like any other potential opponent at the moment.

    No way could this do Wembley!

    Froch v Groves was a one off that was jumped on by the Sky hype machine and paid off. Without that Sky hype and promotion, no chance.

    It could probably do the O2, or Upton Park but no chance Wembley

    The tabloid newspapers could easily hype this to Wembley proportions.

    People underestimate the interest that could be generated in Wladimir Klitschko. The general British public and sports fans are familiar, some very, some vaguely, with Klitschko. There's a recognition that he's a long-time champion and he comes across well in interviews. He's also half of a celebrity couple, tabloids and gossip mags love it. He looks the part. Throw in a few references to Ukraine crises and geopolitics. Wlad, as boring as he might have seemed to boxing fans for much of the last ten years, has great potential.

    In the other corner, mouthy traveller Tyson Fury. Again, the whole 'gypsy' thing appeals to tabloid sensibilities, and Tyson himself is a pretty decent self-promoter. He's either a cheeky chappie or a mindless moron, and he sings a bit. The tabloids and the public love amateur singers, as X-Factor and all its variations show. There's so many ways Tyson Fury could come up with to promote himself, it doesn't bear thinking about.

    Having said all that, I doubt it will happen at Wembley.
    Wlad has too many options.

    The tabloids don't give a **** about boxing to put on the back pages so zero chance of that happening

    Fury couldn't sell out the MEN, his home town arena, for the first Chisora fight (and that was despite about 17 fights originally being on the card).

    He has no ****ing hope of even getting Wembley half-full.
